BILLECART-SALMON EXTRA BRUT VINTAGE CHAMPAGNE (2016)
$109.99
A rose-gold hue with glinting flecks of soft green, naturally enhanced by a fine, abundant and dynamic effervescence.
Deliciously fruity intensity with elegant notes of nuts and stone fruits (greengage and crunchy cherries). Prolonged and nuanced development of exquisite notes of baked goods (crepe dough and puffed cereals). A superlative aroma, with a refreshing and sophisticated purity.
A charming mouthfeel with notes of fresh pineapple and sudachi zest, amplified by a creamy and delicate texture. A persistent finish with a chiseled structure.
A noble and distinctive vintage with excellent depth. Enjoy with bream ceviche and kalamansi condiment or a high-end Pata Negra ham aged 36/48 months.
Serve at : 11/12°C.
- Size: .750L
